Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

- Start date
Pretty much confirmed pretty much done ...
Neither of those statements mean it's done though which is the problem here. People can say pretty much this pretty much that as many times as they want .. Until it's announced and he has signed the contract and holding the shirt it isn't done and at this moment in time that's nowhere near happening..
Now we are down to Aug 14th no doubt after that we will still be here and the same people saying Aug 31,

Another homecoming!Mourinho says we're gonna sign a very good midfielder...
We're gonna sign John Obi Mikel aren't we
I also think it's done, but I bet Real fans were equally convinced they had a shiny new keeper last year too. So, odd things happen sometimes. Go get them
Pessimists.
Pessimists.
And you know this how?
Do you have some inside information on either United or Juve's end that says it's no way near happening? For all we know the deal is done pending Pogba signing. United rarely announce they've agreed a fee with another club pending a medical. At least, they've not done it in a while. You could say Juve might announce that we've agreed a fee, but they don't have too if they don't want too. They could announce that Pogba is leaving shortly before we announce he's signed. We'll just have to see what order it's done
I'm expecting Howard Nurse to tweet this weekend saying his source confirmed United have no interest in Pogba.

Such a nice kit, love us to have something like that.
Nurse: We can confirm that Paul Pogba has turned down a contract offer from Manchester United. He'll be joining Juventus on a free transfer.
We did sign Mata pending a medical and announced it.

Van Persie was another one we announced pending a medical.

Pogba is a much better player than Gundogan and will be fit for twice as many games easily.
He's no Guthrie or Norwood but still a tidy player.
Some people are obtuse for the heck of it. But as for the pending medical thingy, that has been done plenty of times by United. And was heavily discussed in this thread iirc.
Actually.. Forget all that.
We signed Depay just last season and announced that a deal had been reached pending a medical!
We've been doing it since forever, since we agreed terms for Ramsey!

I can say am alive when some fans thought Matuidi, Kante and Gundogan are same level with Pogba.
This may not happen
Until he's officially not....

Maybe if Gundogan hadn't had his injury issues he might have been but I know what you mean.
That would be beautiful, dont you think?This may not happen
To be fair, before Gundogans injuries, I wouldn't say he was any worse than Pogba. Pogba is the better player now but Gundogan is a really good player when on form and Pep will be very good for him. I'd love Gundogan with us, but yeah, Would prefer Pogba.I can say am alive when some fans thought Matuidi, Kante and Gundogan are same level with Pogba.
Remember Bush on the podium, looking at everyone and saying 'Ladies and Gentlemen, we got him (saddam)'.
That's our Woody.
A prime Yaya Toure smashed in 20 league goals and grabbed 9 assists. You really think Pogba is better than that, at this current moment in time?
Not today, but he will quite likely be.
Football is not just about stats. Pogba has so much more to his game. If you go by stats, Vieira scored like 5 goals a season which with your own yardstick would not make him a good player.
We'll have to wait and see won't we
Expectations will be big but sometimes a deal like this can make a player go up to the next levelHe wasn't just good statistically that year though, he was just unstoppable. Some of the runs he made through midfield were sensational. He was incredible both to watch and in terms of productivity.
I'd be very surprised if Pogba was able to match that already. In the future it's possible, but for that season Yaya was in god mode.
Yes, he's just now hitting his prime years. I think he will be one of the best of this generation.
That was Paul Bremer.
Fair enough. Personally I still think he's a reasonable way off the Yaya of that season, but we'll see. Quite excited/intrigued to see how he'll get on in the Premier League.
Yeah I'd agree with that. Be very surprised if Pogba is at that sort of level straight away. Toure was quite a player for City.
Yaya was very good in the Prem that season, but he was poor in the CL.
Think Pogba will fare better in the CL personally.

Then we will have knocking on 40,000 posts of absolute meltdown. Nothing will ever touch this thread.
We are basically getting Pogba at the same point as when Madrid got Ronaldo. All the best years still ahead of him.
If he's as good as the Yaya of that season, you win the league to be honest. Unless the rest of your team performs pitifully.
I think it's likely that he'll have a solid first season and then build on it, rather than immediately tearing the league up.
Despite all the 'he prefers Madrid crap' we've been hearing perhaps Pogba has always had a desire to come back. Unfinished business for lack of a better term.
No but Yaya was playing in an excellent team that had been developed over a number of years. I don't really see the comparison right now and Pogba is only 23 so let's see how he develops, right now I don't see a comparison with anybody but his talent is clearly evident.
The only difference being that Ronaldo was obviously a lot better when he left us.
